Photobucket (Price: Free)

Bloggers can simply shoot an image from their cell phone (both smart phones and feature phones) and upload their images to Photobucket’s servers via email or mobile apps.

Bloggers can then download their images thanks to Photobucket’s iPad app, and insert them within their blog posts without having to touch their bulky laptops.

Photogene (Price: $3.99 USD)

Bloggers desiring to tweak their images (or simply sharpen them) may want to check out the Photogene iPad app, which will allow them to easily crop, insert text or add special effects upon their images.

Unfortunately users who purchased Photogene’s iPhone app will have to pay again to download the iPad app (as this is not a universal app like BlogPress).

Any others?

If you are fortunate to receive an iPad (note: I’m already saving up my extra cash in order to purchase one ASAP!), and are using it for blogging, feel free to inform the rest of us in the comment section on your favorite iPad apps that help you blog on the go.

Darnell Clayton is a geek who discovered blogging long before he heard of the word “blog” (he called them “web journals” then). When he is not tweeting, Facebooking, or blogging about space and his beloved iPhone, he enjoys running, reading and describing himself in third person.

I’m going on a 6-week Eurotrip and will be blogging while traveling on the iPad. I’m blogging on a self-hosted wordpress, will the blogpress still work? This might be an option for me.

I also have a photogallery plug-in installed on my blog (Next-Gen Gallery). I was trying out two different FTP apps in hopes of uploading them to my site, then getting the next-gen gallery to recognize the uploads. You can insert photos from the photos uploaded to next-gen gallery through wordpress while using safari. This was my plan anyhow.

I tried out FTPOnTheGo and wearyingly paid the $10. It looks like it has alot of promise, but I could never get the photos to upload. You select all the ones you want to upload and it puts them in this “transfer” dock, then uploads them all at once. I could never get anything to upload. The wifi on the ipad had the “loading” circle, but the photo never left. I just tried one really low res photo and nothing.

Then I also tried FTP Deluxe, which actually worked and was only .99 cents. The only pain, you can only upload one photo at a time. But I’ve been having problems getting it to work now, it freezes up alot.

I’ve also used the iPhone Flickr app on the iPad and you can upload photos there, one at a time, but you can’t get the link unless you get out of the app and go to safari. Kinda a pain, but that’s what I might have to do since I can’t get the FTP’s to work and I’ll need galleries of my photos. 🙁

Like so many other Apple users I’m enamored with each deliciously-designed product that they release. But I understand what they are doing to us – they are changing the way we think, compute, consume and buy. As a futurist and early-adopter of most technology I’m ok with these changes. But Apple seems to be single-handedly launching us into new markets long before the public knows what to do with them. On one hand it’s the entrepreneur’s dream to have a new wild-west to conquer. But as consumers we are easily tricked into putting money back into Apple, AT&T and so many other companies’ products to feel like we are on the cutting edge of technology in this brave new age of computing. My first impressions of the iPad are exactly these thoughts. It’s not a matter of is it cool (it totally is) or do I want one (couldn’t wait.) It does everything I wanted and more. It’s got a few limitations I find frustrating. But once I got my hands on it I was drinking Apple’s kool aid once again and didn’t put it down for about 14 hours. Below is a brief review of the product and some initial impressions of the philosophy behind the technology, some questions about productivity and some excitement about the possibilities.

Im writing this comment from the apple shop and must say it types pretty well but wondering what it’s like on blogger.com
Considering buying one and it would be the deal breaker that blogger worked well for me.

Hey Darnell thanks for the cool post and these apps are cool with nice features on blogging; and don’t forget the one app for all the blogging needs: wordpress for ipad! But the main problem with ipad is the touch keyboard, I find it tiresome when typing a lot on that. LOL! I wouldn’t be able to write so much as a comment from my ipad, this one is from my laptop 🙂

BE Write HD is an iPad app that lets users post to WordPress and Blogger. You can post to wordpress.com blogs or independent sites running WordPress (see http://www.bewriteapp.com/wordpress, for example).

Also, you can use it to upload docs to Google Docs, send formatted emails, draw, insert images from the web, and much more. Plus you can easily post your artwork and images to your blog.

I’ve been using Blogsy for the iPad. I’ve tried almost all the others available, and they’re no where near as good. I use it for all my blogs, so my pc is pretty redundant where blogging is concerned. Blogsy also allows multiple blogs/posts/photo uploads etc with a really slick drag n drop interface. Their app support is brilliant too. highly recommended. (i have no connections with them other than a siatisfied blogsy user.)

Hi, I know I’m late, but I was searching for a solution to blog from my iPad, don’t know why I don’t do enough research before buying rather than after….anyways, I blog on blogspot, and now I can’t seem to format or add images to my post. I can see the para breaks while I’m creating the post, but as soon as I publish it, sans images, the spacing, para breaks all just disappear.

Another thing is about attaching images, the choose image option is not usable only!!!
As its been a few years since you had faced these probs I’m hoping with my fingers crossed that you can help me out….
